jrtpup replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"On line - shop around for the best price. It seems expensive but I've had the same roll for over a year."
icuski2 replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Great. Thanks so much. Do you get this at a local pharmacy or order it online?"
jrtpup replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I usually get 3 weeks or so as well. I use Opsite Flexifix, swear by the stuff. It comes in a roll. I cut a strip for each side of the sensor/transmitter tape. It hasn't ever given out on me, and is virtually invisible - super thin."
icuski2 replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"What kind of tape do you use? My main problem is they don't stick longer than about 3-5 days and start to work themselves out. I went to the local pharmacy, but all they could recommend is Johnson & Johnson First Aid tape. I got what I paid…"
jrtpup replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Same here. The one I just changed out was pretty much smack on till day 22!"
"20 days - wow. I wish. Great Good luck.
Apparently - according to attached article on new proposed sensor with one year usage; the issue is that unless titanium; present minimed/dexcom sensors are treated by body as invaders, and body sets about to…"
mikep replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"I am normally in the 20-25 day range. I get a lot of ??? and wacky readings. Sensor always works better for me in week 2 and 3.
Love my Dex. If I ever have to go for a little while without it, I feel completely blind."
"I usually get 10-14 days before off readings and ???. Once I get a bunch of ???, I don't usually bother trying to restart it again."
Jennifer replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"Yup - off label of course. I re-start until the numbers are off - I got 16 days out of my last sensor. Currently on day 7 of this one and restarted this morning."
olu Oog replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"HOW much is one of those things. I was wondering if we could set up an arrangement whereby those of us who have 2 many of them can send it to those in need of them. Just want to know if it is costly and worth the trouble"
NatalieHodge replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"wow, you just restart after the first week and get a second week, and perhaps a third??"
NatalieHodge replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"thanks! would you recommend it to an 11 year old? My 11 year old is on omnipod, and I'd love to have to help her with basals, and her biggest problem right now is lows during dance class, she dances 12 to 14 hours a week, and lows during class…"
NatalieHodge replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"your accuracy is good in the thigh area? off label right? but it looks like everyone is trying other sites..."
NatalieHodge replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"wow! even in high and low ranges?"
NatalieHodge replied to cbgdjg's discussion '20 Days on a sensor' in the group Dexcom Users"wow, good to know accuracy better in the second week, in the first week, how far off is it in normal range? how far is it off in the <70 and over 200 range? Curious, considering for my 11 year old t1"
